On Wednesday we had first aid training with Rochelle from St John. She has 3 jobs. Rochelle comes to work with us before we go on Camp each year. We learned:

how to bandage a sprain

what to do when you have a bleeding nose

what to do if you have a burn

what to do if there is a deep cut

what to do if you get a bee sting - check if they are allergic

She taught us to use RICE - REST / ICE / COMPRESSION / ELEVATION. You could use this when you have a deep wound or a sprain.We also got taught what to do if you get bitten by a spider, you should check if the person is allergic. Something to remember when you bandage somebody is to use a 'live snail' bandage which means the bundle of bandage is facing upwards when you start.
